In the press

MARGO is taking a new step forward in strengthening its expertise in capital markets with the appointment of Christophe El Harake as Practice Manager Capital Market Technologies. This strategic choice illustrates the firm's desire to place field leaders at the heart of its excellence model.

In the IT consulting sector, added value often relies on the ability to understand the real constraints of end users. By appointing Christophe El Harake, a former trading and asset management professional who worked at Amundi and BNP Paribas, MARGO chooses operational experience. Indeed, this dual culture, blending capital markets and software engineering, has become essential for driving critical digital transformation projects. Christophe now manages a multidisciplinary team of around thirty experts, ranging from Business Analysts to IT Quants, as well as functional developers.

This appointment fits directly into the philosophy of MARGO's EXCELLENCE Hub. This system structures communities of expertise to guarantee continuous innovation and tailor-made support. Within his Practice, Christophe El Harake does not simply supervise teams; he leads an idea laboratory where the sharing of technology monitoring and technical mutual aid are the norm. In fact, this organization makes it possible to respond with rare precision to the challenges of modeling financial products or optimizing trading tools.

The stated ambition is clear: making MARGO the absolute reference on the most sensitive technical-functional projects. As Christophe El Harake emphasizes, innovation cannot be decreed but is built in the field with those who master actual flows and uses. Consequently, his role is to create the conditions for a collective intelligence capable of directly impacting the performance of clients in capital markets.

Innovation, in our field, never comes from the top down. It is built in the field, with those who understand the constraints, the flows, the actual uses. My role is to carry this requirement and create the conditions for everyone to progress. Christophe El Harake, Practice Manager at MARGO

Finally, this appointment reinforces MARGO's commitment to its consultants. Beyond delivery, Christophe supports the professional growth of his teams through personalized mentoring, proving that operational excellence and talent development are two sides of the same coin.
